Critical feature for subscription renewals.

 

Tried to create a workflow to clone Deals but you cannot update all of the necessary fields.

100%. I need a deal to remain in one pipeline, but have a duplicate in another so the second taskflow for our other team can begin their work.

Hello HubSpot community, 

When combing through this idea, there are 2 main themes. One of them is to clone the contents of one deal to create another, the second is to merge two existing deals together. 

For those interested in merging two existing deals together, I'm excited to let you know that we've heard your feedback and have launched the ability to merge deals. Here is a Knowledge Base article that describes this new functionality in more detail.

@Dylan what is the status of any work to fulfill the request for cloning deals? The announcement of being able to merge deals is somewhat of 'salt on the wound' for those of us that have been waiting and waiting for the ability to clone a deal!

Definitely need this for the same reason. ARR, annual deals, need to set up the deal for the next year when we close for the first year.

Yep we really need this so we don't have to take deals out of our sales workflow and into our customer success workflow

Come on Hubspot, Salesforce has this. A much needed idea and one that seems to have been hanging around for a while. 

Any cloning must include the ability to carry the Products across from one deal to another alogn with all of the other details. This would be perfect for customer renewals from one year to the next

We do this by using Workflows. 

We have added a checkbox in the end of the Deal and when we change that to Yes it will automatic clone that deal and change back the value to No again. 

 

1 min later we have a new deal that is a copy of the one we just created. 

 

Good luck

Hi @Issen007 we also use this function via workflow. However, it does not currently copy the Products over from one deal to another which would be great for renewals where customers have the same products year on year.

 

In addtion, you do not have the ability just to adhoc clone a deal. It has to be done via automation. Salesforce did have this function which was useful.

@mark_poyser exactly!  We need to duplicate the products.

Most of our client have annual events and often we contract 2-3 years but the deals must be separated by year.

 

Looks like this has been a widely requested feature since 2017...@hubspot why cant this be addressed.

 

It seems like a "clone" option under the deal actions would be fairly simple.

Okay HubSpot, I think you have to look a bit more clear at the request. Your answer unfortunately didn't address what the suggestion was: to clone a deal in HubSpot.  

 

Your answer of "When combing through this idea, there are 2 main themes. One of them is to clone the contents of one deal to create another, the second is to merge two existing deals together." - nope, there was clearly 1 main theme: to clone a deal. I'll repaste the original suggestion:

 

Need to be able to clone an individual deal. This is helpful for recurring revenue organizations and building MRR. Please

 

I would also like to see this feature added since it's a pain to re-create the exact same deal for monthly subscription deals. Thanks!

Exactly. It should not be so difficult!

We need DEAL CLONING.  Deal cloning speaks to enterprise solutions & Hubspot says they want to focus on that.  Please get it done.
